and Tiger Moth. After saving Alfred from being hurt by a league ninja,he asks Alfred to get the jet ready to leave for Asia.

He manages to save them but the poison affects their brains, never to be fully functional again. Robin and Damian are captured and brought back to Tibet to meet Ras al Ghul. Upon being brought to Ra's the two get up and fight the ninjas as they were only pretending to be unconscious. Damian abandons Robin alone with Ra's Al Ghul. Ra's attempts to manipulate Robin by tempting him with the chance to bring his parents back to life,Robin pretend to be interested and Ra's sensing this knocks him out.Outside the base Batman and Talia are getting closer to Ra's only to run into more of his henchmen, defeating them with help from I-Ching. Batman, Talia, and I-Ching continue to a Lhasian mountain where they find a secret entrance to Ra's's headquarters. On meeting, Ra's and Batman engage in battle, but Ra's body is immune to pain due to it being a corpse. Ra's then brings out Robin and Damian,and offers Batman the choice of which body Ra's should choose. Batman offers his own body, but Ra's refuses,wanting a younger one.

Batman then offers to take Ra's to Nanda Parbat wherein lies the Fountain of Essence, a Lazarus Pit but without the dangerous after-effects.As they travel there,they discover the temple is under attack by the Sensei(another leader of the League of Assassins). Batman and Ra's also discover that the Sensei is Ra's father. After fighting off his men,Batman and Ra's fight the Sensei who takes down Ra's quickly. The sensei then attacks Batman breaking Batman's arm, blind him, and impale his chest with his cane saying that although Batman has had years to train,the Sensei has had century's.In a final move Batman knocks Sensei into the Fountain of Life and as both which kills him for not being a pure soul. Ra's meanwhile escapes by possessing a monk of Nanda Parbat and leaves. Batman emerges out of the fountain slightly younger then before and screams out for Ra's. Meanwhile,Robin confronts the White Ghost wanting to restore his parents back to life.The White Ghost but only if Tim swears his undying loyalty to Ra's Al Ghul in which Robin agrees. As he ascend to the chamber Robin is met by I-ching who does not stop him and Nightwing who does plan to stand in Robins way.
